Mid-Tech Field Knives

Fiddleback Forge's purpose-built line of knives are derived from the proven handcrafted knife designs of Andy Roy.

Fiddleback Forge's Field Knives use a mid-tech production process to produce the hardest working knives available anywhere. Each knife is hand-assembled from pre-fabricated stock and receives hand finishing touches and assembly at the Fiddleback Forge workshop prior to shipping.

This process is performed by the same talented hands that produce Fiddleback Forge's all-handmade knives and produces a quality knife unmatched by mass manufactured knives.

Testimonials

Fiddlback's first designs were the first 2 Fiddlebacks that I purchased (and still have)...they are the 3 Finger Joe in Ironwood and the Runt in Rosewood. That started my collection and I’ve owned over 60 Fiddleback and family knives - and still expanding! I no longer purchase any other family/brand of knives and rarely carry any of my pre-Fiddleback knives. I used to collect a lot of tactical folders and high end factory knives but I am much happier with the support, look, feel, and more personal approach by far with your organization. This probably mirrors the sentiment of the majority of us who have been regulars on the sub-forum and Fiddleback owners. Thank you so much for all of what you guys do.

I know most people buy a knife and hardly use it. I am not that guy. I gut, skin, bone out and process over 100 large game animals a year and spend 45 days a year in the woods in a tent. I have a bushcraft knife and a machete. No amount of money can buy these two knives from me. I'll hand them to a grandson I don't yet have. I have met few that use a knife like I do and fiddleback is my choice. And I have tried nearly all big name knife companies. Andy Roy is second to no knife builder I know.

Love Fiddleback Forge, awesome knives! The handle design is one of the best I have ever held & the fit & finish is second to none.

Hiking Buddy at Deer Camp...Hunting for Fajitas
Hiking Buddy at Deer Camp...Hunting for Fajitas

by Robert Gilbert May 24, 2018

In typical fashion, I bring more knives on a hunt that one guy needs but hey, is there such as thing as too much cutlery? Each morning I go out I grab a different knife and take it to the field with me and should I get luckily enough to harvest a deer, that is the knife that gets field dressing duties. Opening day I saw a lot of smaller does, spikes and yearlings - I was covered up in deer most of the day but I didn't want to take a smaller deer early in the season so I held out, we had some nice bucks on camera so I rolled the dice.

Common-sense 1911 Pistol Upgrades

Much like a Fiddleback Forge Knife can be appreciated for its beauty, so can a nicely finished 1911. Both Andy’s knives and modern 1911s blend classic styling and modern touches into a very functional tool. For those who like to match their Fiddleback Forge Knives with custom ferro rods, you can add another factor into your coordination game with a properly customized 1911. When you have so many options to upgrade your 1911, remember the advice of this blog and think logically to create a truly personalized piece of American firearms history.

What's That About?
What's That About?

by Brian Griffin April 22, 2018

He noticed “the little wooden-handled knife I was wearing for a necklace” as he put it, and asked about it. It is a Fiddleback Forge Esquire with an Osage handle that I have carried daily for a couple of years now. I also showed him a larger one I had with me that day, my Woodsman, and told him who had made them. To which he said, “so you prefer handmade knives over store-bought knives now? What's that about?"
